This volume marks a new approach to a seminal work of the modern
scientific imagination: Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species
(1859). Darwin's central theory of natural selection neither
originated nor could be contained, with the parameters of the
natural sciences, but continues to shape and challenge our most
basic assumptions about human social and political life. Several
new readings, crossing the fields of history, literature,
sociology, anthropology and history of science, demonstrate the
complex position of the text within cultural debates past and
present. Contributors examine the reception and rhetoric of the
Origin and its influence on systems of classification, the
nineteenth-century women's movement, literary culture (criticism
and practice) and Hinduism in India. At the same time, a re-reading
of Darwin and Malthus offers a constructive critique of our
attempts to map the hybrid origins and influences of the text. This
volume will be the ideal companion to Darwin's work for all
students of literature, social and cultural history and history of
science. -- .
